Sister Carling, Sister Pugh & Sister Christensen
She goes
home in 3 weeks and was moved into our companionship on Thursday. She's from
Rexburg Idaho and she has a giraffe in her house that her mom shot. That's the
coolest thing ever.
Monday I
colored one of the Caldwell sister's hair. It was great to be able to do hair
again!! I always miss it!! that night we went to the Beggs for dinner and they
had forgot. So we pitched in to help with dinner and after we played a game of
Sequence with teams. It was awesome. we finished 2nd!! We tried to do some
finding but with not much success. We stopped by the Jensen's and we were both
able to get blessings to help us. They ended out being just at the right time
with all the crazy that would be happening later in the week.
Tuesday
we had Blinn until like 1:30ish it was awesome to be on campus again!! We had
dinner with the Beards and taught the Restoration that night to an investigator
we had found the previous week. Grant came with us and was able to answer a lot
of Caleb's questions that he had. The spirit was very strong and it was great to
be able to share the gospel with him!
Wednesday before Blinn we had a
lesson with Alma. We helped her start family history in her "My Family" booklet.
The we Talked to more people at Blinn. after we had lunch and went to Kruze to
help with bingo. One of the old lady's there invited us back to her apartment
and we got to visit and chat with her about her life and family. She ended out
giving us gluten free girl scout cookies and crescents and jam. She was super
cute. That night we did some more finding and ended out stopping by someone the
Elders tracted into. We taught the Restoration and she is SO READY!! Christy has
had a hard life and is ready for the Plan of Salvation. She pretty much accepted
the Book of Mormon as scripture and had lots of questions.
Thursday
we did weekly planning and then headed up to College station for Interviews.
That's where the craziness happened. We had a great time learning and teaching
and growing and getting to talk to president is always great...until he tells
you your being put into a trio and covering 2 areas...but he did it with lots of
love in his heart so it was okay. That night we went to Caldwell's apartment and
grabbed some stuff for Sis Christensen and headed back to Brenham still
wondering how we were going to do this. We've figured it out mostly and are
working on it.
Friday
we went back to College Station for Zone meeting. After that we grabbed lunch
to-go and headed way south to the bottom of our area for a lesson with Rainn. We
were able to teach her the Plan of Salvation with Sis Carlile. After that we
went to New Beginnings and helped out there for a little bit before it closed.
We tracted a little bit and then went to the Giles out in Burton for dinner. We
stopped by the Chapdelaine's to introduce the new sister.
Saturday
we taught the restoration to another referral from the Elders. Katy had already
read to 2 Ne 12. Talk about a reader!! After, we stopped by Jordache's to see
how he was doing and to give him a "For the Strength of Youth" pamphlet. That
afternoon we had Family History and indexing. It was awesome!!! I was able to
find 7 names!! Dinner was with the Moore's (Yum!). and we did some more tracting
after.
Sunday
we had church and tried to follow up with some potentials. We ended out helping
this random lady (who is 81) pick up pecans. I asked her about her marriage to
her husband and was able to get some great insight on a 56 year marriage. A few
lessons fell through and we had dinner. We visited Sis Tieman and found out she
read a few times this week!! Success!! Last night (again after 7:30ish) we found
2 people: 1 was a baptist minister open to us coming back and 2 was a woman who
already had 2 Book of Mormon's and had taken the lessons in the past. It was
quite the miracle. It was great!! :)
Today we
got lots to do!! We are going up to Caldwell to get Sis C's stuff. Here we
go!!
Keep
moving forward!
--Sister Carling
